Blood, Trauma, and Biohazard Cleanup in Newton Falls, OH

Newton Falls is a village in southwestern Trumbull County, Ohio, within the Youngstown–Warren metropolitan area.

The village takes its name from the two sets of waterfalls within its borders, each on a different branch of the Mahoning River, and its 'Newton' may derive from Newtown, Connecticut, home of early township landowners.

Newton Falls is famous for its ZIP code, 44444 — one of the few in the United States made up of a single repeated digit.

The Newton Falls Covered Bridge, built over the Mahoning River in 1831, is the second-oldest covered bridge in Ohio, the only one in the state with an integrated covered walkway (added in 1921-1922), and the last surviving covered bridge in Trumbull County; it was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1974.

On May 31, 1985, an F5 tornado — the only F5 to strike Ohio that day — tore through Newton Falls during the U.S.–Canadian tornado outbreak, destroying much of downtown, leaving about 400 families homeless and 70 to 80 people injured, yet remarkably killing no one in the village, a fact credited to warning sirens; a memorial monument was erected in 2022.

The 1985 tornado badly damaged the village's schools, destroying the high school gymnasium on the very evening the senior class had considered holding its graduation there.

Newton Falls grew into a steel manufacturing community aided by its river location and the proximity of the Ravenna Training and Logistics Site (the former Ravenna Arsenal).

Newton Falls had a population of 4,557 at the 2020 census, down from 4,795 in 2010.

Census Bureau survey estimates (2019-2023 American Community Survey) put Newton Falls at roughly 2,440 households.

The village covers about 2.39 square miles and is served by the Newton Falls Exempted Village School District, which operates three schools.
